Re: 2015 - Draft & Trade Thread

GWS have just offically thrown open the Treloar negotiations - means open slather. Saints definately have been talking to his manager. This could be interesting people.

Re: Jake Carlisle

All good on the family front thanks Chook. Getting a bit of info from my son obviously - who is talking to key players in this trade stuff. Yes - a bit of luck needed. But not as much as you might think. Imagine ending trade period with: Treloar, Carlyle and Freeman?? Top 8 next season would be achi...

Re: Congrats Faz

Best overhead mark for a bloke his size I can remember seeing - very courageous too. Very similar to David Grant.
Has put together a very good career at the elite level - played in grand finals - remember he shut down Swan in the drawn GF. Did all he could to get us over the line.
Well played Faz.

Re: Again on the Ruckman

I can still recall then Coach Stan Alves using Rob Harvey to tag the Melbourne Ruckman (Stynes). Alves conceded that Stynes was a much better player around the ground than as a tap ruckman. So Harvs had the job of going with him - it was a classic, Harvs superior fitness helped him absolutely murder...

Kosi , it will be a sad day indeed to see you hang up the boots. What a spectacular player you were in your prime, very courageous and strong. Beautiful pack mark and a long, accurate kick.

Spoke to officials yesterday at the family day - I made mention that our pre-season was a tad disappointing. Response I got was a smile and " we are happy, don't worry about the scoreboard. We will have a very strong team for Rd 1 who will be fit and healthy and hungry."

Re: We get the points - AFL Statement

Makes it even more extraordinary how the AFL just jumped in and ordered that the match was a draw - what the?? Was that a knee-jerk reaction before they actually considered the facts and the ramifications. Just amazing.
